Cocos (Keeling) Islands

The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are a remote Australian territory scattered across the eastern Indian Ocean — two low-lying coral atolls ringed by lagoons of striking turquoise water. Life here moves at the pace of the tides, shaped by a small permanent population split between West Island and Home Island, where a Malay-Cocos community has lived for generations.
